Subject: RE: BS: Gypsies, Tories, & Waterson/Carthy
I think that slogan could backfire - like the one about 'vote for Blair and get Brown" whiuch they have dropped after it turned out that that is just what most people choose. See here the way today's Guardian used it on the front page, with a picture of Michael Howard with his eyes shut, looking even shiftier than usual. (And the video clip from which that was taken actually had him looking even worse, it seemed to me.)
